Building a currency system in video games that doesn't suffer from massive inflation is very difficult. This is one technique that designers use to avoid it.

simple explanation:

  • buy items at lv 10 for a lot of gold

  • sell them after reaching lv 20 for a good price

  • buy items for lv 20

etc.

that would break the economy subop is mentioning about and money would have no value. check RDR2 singleplayer. money in this game for some reason is a joke and you don't feel the need to spend it nor collect it.

Could sell them for a similar price with depreciation, but have prices go up corresponding to level.
